Tablet was running Oreo, a real old version of WETA (I think v3.1). TWRP was installed.

Decided to update to the latest rom so downloaded from sammobile and flashed through Odin. I thought this would wipe everything and install the Pie rom, leaving me with a clean install, ready to flash TWRP, magisk, and the WETA module.

Process completed successfully in Odin and the tablet restarted but it's stuck on bootloader screen. Can't turn it off, can't boot to recovery or download mode, can't do anything really.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Have you tried ADB to boot into recovery or download mode?
PC doesn't even recognise that a device has been plugged in.

I can hold Power + Up + Down to reset the device, but it goes straight back to being stuck at bootloader.

Power + Up for recovery does not work, Power + Down for download mode doesn't work (but resets the device). The fact neither of these work makes me think there is no way out of this? :(

Solved.

Managed to get it into download mode by powering it on while the USB was plugged into my work PC. Laptop USB port must have not had enough power.

Flashed stock rom with Odin again and it booted up. :)
